Stuart's Flying Dog
Posted: Wed Jan 27, 2021 5:26 am
So this'll be my first build for this GB - Airfix's 1/72 Cessna O-1 Brid Dog. This is a kit I've wanted to redo since I messed one up in the early 90's. The trouble is it's quite a rare kit now and pretty damn expensive for what it is - this one cost me £30-00!
(apologies for the poor box shots - these were taken off ebay. I'll post some better ones when I get the kit).
I can't decide yet whether or not this will be OOB or if I'll get the Pavla resin interior and flying controls for it. I've used Pavla resin cockpits before and I've never been impressed by them or their fit and have ending up tossing a few builds because of them - I will almost certainly need some AM decals though.
I've always loved the O-1 though, it's just one of those aircraft that, just like the 'UH-1', says Vietnam to me.
Cheers!
